    In this powerful episode of Rare Awareness Radio, we sit down with Yiwei She, founder of the TNPO2 Foundation, to discuss her inspiring journey from mathematician and AI professional to rare disease advocate. When her son, Leo, was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic condition, Yiwei refused to accept the lack of treatment options. Instead, she launched a foundation dedicated to advancing precision medicine and improving early genetic diagnoses for children with rare diseases. We dive into the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, the groundbreaking role of AI and biotech in drug development, and the fight for equitable access to life-saving treatments. Yiwei also shares the mission behind Project Baby Lion, an initiative designed to accelerate diagnoses and connect families with the right resources. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about medical innovation, rare disease advocacy, and the power of technology to transform lives. 🔗 Learn more about the TNPO2 Foundation: tnpo2.org
